A stunning deluxe edition, featuring a reversible jacket, a beautifully foiled board, exclusive designed endpapers, and an exclusive sprayed fore-edge.

A darkly romantic Rapunzel reimagining from the number one Sunday Times bestselling author of WHEN THE MOON HATCHED.

"What a pretty flower to keep locked in a big, rocky tower."

Nineteen years ago, I was plucked from the heart of a bloody massacre that spared nobody else. Small. Fragile. An enigma.

Now ward to a powerful High Master who knows too much and says too little, I lead a simple life, never straying from the confines of an imaginary line I've drawn around the castle grounds. Stay within. Never leave.

Out there, the monsters lurk. Inside, I'm safe … though at a cost far greater than the blood I drip into a goblet daily.

Toxic, unreciprocated love for a man who's utterly unavailable. My saviour. My protector. My almost executioner. I can't help but be enamoured with the arcane man who holds the power to pull my roots from the ground.

When voracious beasts spill across the land and threaten to fray the fabric of my tailored existence, the petals of reality will peel back to reveal an ugly truth. But in a castle puddled with secrets, none are greater than the one I've kept from myself.

No tower is tall enough to protect me from the horror that tore my life to shreds.

Book one in the Crystal Bloom series. Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Only available in select territories.

About the Author

Sarah A. Parker is an international bestselling author who grew up on a farm in New Zealand, where she spent her days getting lost amongst the rolling pasture, building forts in the hedge, climbing trees, and exploring the forest pathways - making up elaborate stories that never lost their grip on her. She now lives in Australia with her husband, dog, three children, and countless plants, and spends her days pouring her stories onto paper rather than throwing them to the wind. Her genre of choice is epic fantasy romance, and she thrives off dreaming up real, complex characters and immersive worlds to get lost amongst.
